What does PESEWA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small coin of Ghana, worth one hundredth of the main unit, the cedi.
The pesewa is the subdivision of the Ghanaian cedi in the same way that a cent is a subdivision of a dollar. The word comes from Akan, the language of much of southern Ghana. Because inflation has made it worth very little, prices in shops are quoted mainly in cedis, but the pesewa survives on coins and in small change.
